9

5.Time (in Replay):
13:38

6.Rule(s) applicable:
13

7.Skipper(s) involved:
BatBoat and Kvien

8.Description:
BatBoat is sailing port and tacks to starboard just before top mark (red mark). Umpire sanctions a rule 13, which is wrong, since BatBoat is on close hauled when umpire sanctions rule 13. Actually there is something like 1-2 boat widths when BatBoat is on close hauled, so Kvien has plenty of time to change course in all directions. The correct ruling should be Kvien is in violation with RRS 10.

No

Facts at topmark :
> BatBoat and Kvien are on port
> BatBoat is leeward and ahead of Kvien
> BatBoat tacks because of STB boats
> No RTT hail from BatBoat
> BatBoat receives RRS13 from Kvien
> Kvien reacted promptly and tacks and there isn't any contact between both boats

Decision :
> Batboat DSQ for breaking RRS 15
> No further action against Kvien
